Hi Panu et al,
I just noticed that pretrans scriptlets get run before the
file dispositions are calculated. Isn't that a bit dangerous?
It means that pretrans scriptlets get run even if the transaction
isn't run at all because of a file conflict.
We're pleased to announce the availability of RPM release 4.10.1.
This is a regular bugfix and minor enhancements maintenance release to
the 4.10.x series. Most importantly this release fixes a bunch of
regressions, a couple of which were introduced in 4.10.0 and some all
the way back in 4.9.

Here's a patch to add lua-5.2 support, for systems that don't have lua-5.1

It doesn't have pkg-config files either any longer, so that needs to be worked

Hi,
Following up our recent discussion, I have composed a first patch in order
not to talk about the abstract concepts only.
I have taken the less intrusive approach and tried to integrate the new

After reading your responses I think we indeed need to break this patch into
